Book Description: 217 p. English version. Many photographs (mostly black and white, some col.), map. Paper covered boards with d.w.

As new. Signed by author.

This book contains photographs with brief notes on flat-roofed vernacular architecture in the Karoo. Taken during the 1950\'s, they portray buildings and unspoilt village scenes, many of which have suffered severe changes during the last half-century.

Although change is inevitable and irrevocable, almost any visit today reveals a deteriorated environment. So apart from the sheer pleasure of recalling these scenes, this book might, in a small way, contribute to a realization of the simple beauty lost, and to a will to regain it.
